Time Out #54 Reminder

Hi All

Time to remind you of our latest Challenge at Time Out. It is our photo challenge.
This week I went for a one layer card:

If you look closely at the patterns on the cupboard one of them is exactly the same at the stamp I have used from Happy Little Stampers. This is from the set Mix Mash. I picked out some of the colours and just stamped away.

This is our photo:

So much here to inspire-flowers, colours, patterns, tiles.

If you want more ideas why not take a look at what our fabulous Guest Designers-Kylie and Elisabeth plus our DT have created here

We are very happy to say that this challenge is being sponsored by Happy Little Stampers

The winner of this challenge will get a $15 gift voucher for their store.

The Card Concept #53

Time for a new challenge at The Card Concept. We have a colour challenge for you.
I do struggle with colour challenges but I ended up with a card I really do like:

Here is our photo:

I lightly stamped the flower in blue on to the card. I also used the same colour blue as my base card. I then embossed it on vellum in pink and coloured the back side in green. To finish off I added a baby pink enamel dot in the centre of the card.

My card is 'Clean and Simple' but you can create your card in any style or combine styles.

Our Guest Designer for this challenge is the very creative Wendy.. Take a look here at what Wendy and the DT have created to inspire you

Time Out #54

Hello All,

Time for a new challenge at Time Out Challenges. It is our 'Home Sweet Home' photo challenge. We have a really fabulous photo for you and here is what I created:

Here I have used the new Doodles Flowers stamp set from Happy Little Stampers. I stamped the flowers then used zig pens. Nonni's pen that I played with when I stayed with her a few weeks ago! I fussy cut the flowers then layered them up using foam pads.

Here is our photo:

Look at that amazing mix of patterns and colours. Then you have the brick floor and so much more. What will inspire you?

Butterfly Birthday!

Hello All,

My card today has been spinning in my head for a few days and this morning I actually got around to creating it:

Happy Little Stampers  are CASEing Joyce's card (see below) this month. I loved her card and wanted to give it a go. I also really wanted to join in the 'white space but not white' challenge at Less is More. I love to use coloured base cards so was really hoping I had chance to play.

I started off by cutting the stitched panel then kept this flat using sticky tape. I then heat embossed the Butterfly Birthday  stamp across this and the base card. I coloured in the centre part and decided to heat emboss this stamp again on vellum, coloured the back side of the vellum and attached it to the card. I wanted to make it a bit different from Joyce's card by adding the vellum. The sentiment is from the same set and heat embossed again. I then popped up the centre panel.

I would also like to enter this into the new challenge Creative with Stamps-Butterfly. This challenge just opened and is run by the lovely Monika and Lilian (good luck ladies)

Here is Joyce's amazing card:

This was a fun card to make and involved more steps than I am used to but I am pleased with the overall CAS look and was so pleased to get to use a coloured base.

Thanks Joyce for the inspiration

A Neon Smile!

Hi All

I am just popping in with a card for the new challenge at The Curtain Call.

I hope all these bright colours make you smile!

A Real Challenge For Me!

Hi All,

I find colour challenges a real challenge especially when you are asked to use over 3 colours. This week I decided to challenge myself to use the colours at Colour Q. I was doing this just to see if I could. My idea was to go with pretty flowers and butterflies and this is what I ended up with:

No flowers, no butterflies, a graphic card but I got all those colours in! Sometimes when I have an idea in my head and sit down to craft I go a completely different way. I am sure this is because I wanted to enter the 'washi' challenge at CASology. Get this...I own no washi tape, only washi stamps. Here my washi stamps are from Uniko. I cut out the middle one and popped it up on foam pads to add some dimension. I used the latest sketch at CAS(E) the Sketch for my layout.

It was fun to make this card and I will enter it into:
